This board does end up discussing some spurious BS, but while I’m here:
1) My job entails facilitating the travel of very high net worth individuals. I’ve been to some pretty backward, politically unstable and dangerous places.
I was just asked to look into a trip to Moscow. NO ONE will touch it, even the people filing the flight plans won’t be associated with a trip to Russia. I’ve never seen anything like it. I can’t really think of anywhere else in the world like it, sure, they might say: ‘you shouldn’t go there, it’s dangerous.’ But they’d still happily do their bit of the job and take your money. Russia is off limits right now. Scary.
2) on the US media discussion; I’ve been travelling here for many years but the issue is getting so much worse.
The level of political bias and hatred spouted and incited by the respective news channels is terrifying. They take any news story anywhere in the world, report it, and then spend 30 minutes telling you very clearly how you should think and feel about it, and often those views are pretty absurd. It’s a lot like the media coverage in some of the totalitarian states that I’ve visited, only that you get to choose your political dogma here. It’s going to end very badly.
The U.K. for all its faults is pretty damn decent place to live. The world is fracked up place!
